Functions
100
A step by step list where a task is broken down into its component parts so those parts can be taught through the use of chaining.
What is a task analysis?
100
The process of providing an individual with something ONLY when the target behavior occurs, which then increases the likelihood of the behavior occurring again
What is Positive Reinforcement?
100
Something that comes before a behavior, and may trigger that behavior
What is an antecedent?
100
Frequency, duration, and intensity
What are ways to measure behavior?
100
Attention, Tangible items, escape, automatic
What are the functions of behavior?
200
ADDING or presenting something following a behavior, which then DECREASES the likelihood of the behavior occuring again
What is positive punishment?
200
Withholding/discontinuing reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in the decrease of that behavior
What is extinction?
200
Anything an individual does
What is behavior?
200
When data points on a graph gradually get higher
What is an increasing trend?
200
With this function, ways to reinforce might be praise, spending time together, talking, and redirection
What is attention?
300
any behavior that does not occur in a sufficient manner and or number
What are behavior deficits?
300
Something negative is removed from a person's experience as a way of increasing the likelihood of a behavior happening again.
What is negative reinforcement?
300
Something that follows the behavior
What is a consequence?
300
Starting with baseline, then implementing intervention, then returning to baseline, then implementing intervention again
What is ABAB reversal design?
300
With this function, ways to reinforce may include preferred activities or food
What is tangibles?
400
A cue or assistance used to encourage the desired response from an individual. Eventually fade over time once the individual proves they can perform the desired behavior independently.
What is a prompt?
400
Providing reinforcement only after the target behavior occurs a set number of times. Once the behavior consistently occurs that many times, the goal is increased to a higher number in order to receive reinforcement
What is differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior?
400
In the three-term contingency (ABC), escape or attention is known as..
What is a consequence?
400
Staggering baseline across different people, settings, or behaviors. Starting one baseline after 3 sessions, the next baseline after 6 sessions, and the last baseline after 10 sessions.
What is multiple baseline design?
400
With this function, ways to reinforce include not allowing them to escape and protesting skills. Ignoring is not effective
What is escape or avoidance?
500
Can occur across people, places, and materials used for teaching. Once a skill is acquired in one setting or with one person, the skill can occur in other settings or with different people.
What is generalization?
500
Providing reinforcement after a specific interval of time has elapsed without the problem behavior occurring. If Bob does not "talk out" for 10 minutes, he will receive 2 minutes of extra free time.
What is differential reinforcement of other behavior?
500
Giving an instruction, telling someone no, or turning the lights off can be an example of this term
What is an antecedent?
500
If the behavior occurs ANY TIME within the given 15 second interval, you mark the box with a check mark.
What is partial interval recording?
500
Brandie engages in self-injurious behaviors and pushes her eyeballs into their socket slightly. She found that if she does that she can see cool pictures and objects. She will keep pushing her eyeballs into their sockets because she enjoys the SENSATION she gets from it.
What is automatic reinforcement?
